This place is a lot of fun! Good food available, great selection of dry, med sweet, sweet, and super sweet wines, live music, and plenty of covered seating. Very enjoyable! Did a great one tasting and had a great time with that as well! The have other drinks if you come with someone who isn’t a wine drinker as well. I recommend giving this place a try and while it is a 2.5 hour drive for us-I look forward to the treat again another day time!
We went to see chocolate chip and company. There are great band The venue was absolutely beautiful until the storms came. We stayed until 3:30 they ended at 4:00
We had a wonderful time. Wine tasting needs a reservation. Food trucks were great!! Shopping for wine or hostess gifts terrific! 2 bands played on outside stage were very good! Heaters on the patio made it a perfect day!
An absolutely wonderful experience! Out of the 60+ wineries I've visited, this is easily my second favorite. The atmosphere is so chill and inviting and the hosts are beyond amazing. The wine is excellent quality. I would totally recommend booking and buying your tickets in advance, you save some money and lots of time so you can visit worry free.
Beautiful weather perfect for sitting enjoying a glass of wine 🍷 and the live band , food trucks , wine tasting and gift shop. Plenty of seating but you’re aloud to bring your own. Get comfortable and enjoy 😊
The vineyard is absolutely beautiful. Special shout out to Susan for taking care of me and allowing me to enjoy the space and wine, she is very kind, and will 10/10 be coming back because SHE made the experience even better. Thank you for your kindness Susan. Second trip here was even better. Thank you all.
A hidden gem that we have missed out on til now. A must do if you are in the Myrtle Beach area. Live music, food trucks, shaded venue to enjoy outdoor music. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Loved listening to Chocolate Chip & Co and the South Side Saints playing 80s music and for only $10 admission. For $8 more, you can do the wine tasting at their Twisted Sister winery, which I highly recommend. What an awesome Saturday!
Spent the afternoon here. The wine, music, and tacos were great! They had a live band, several food trucks, and the turn out was amazing! Lots of people. We did our wine tasting and ended up finding a wine we really enjoyed, so purchased a bottle. Highly recommend if you're in the area or are considering visiting.

So much fun! The boat was exceptionally clean, friendly staff, and a great experience. Whether you choose to gamble or not, this is a very nice 5 hour cruise, with basic food options (sub sandwich, wraps, or pizza) and very reasonable drink prices. There were several jackpot winners on our trip and the slot machines do pay out a little, enough to keep you interested and playing. My only complaint is that a lot of the slots are old, they could do with updating. This is a great activity for couples or small groups. We really enjoyed our first trip and will definitely be going again.
The only place to gamble in SC is a 30 minute drive from Myrtle Beach. Plenty of machines and inexpensive drinks & food. The upper deck is for non-gamblers, smokers, and a place to hang out, drink & relax. It is as advertised, a 5hr cruise. The part not mentioned is it takes 1hr to get to international waters before you can gamble and 45+min once out of international waters on the return. Men must wear a sleeved shirt/tee shirt which is also not mentioned until you are boarding. BONUS: They gave me a free tee shirt to wear that I could keep. Several regulars asked where I got the souvenir tee and said they'll try the sleeveless shirt trick next visit.
Wonderful afternoon on this 194fr boat with full casino, subs & wraps, bars with alcoholic & non alcoholic beverages. Super clean. Bartender Tom was awesome & deck hand Jesse was so friendly & helpful. Bonus, we got to see schools of Dolphins 🐬 twice. Highly recommend
Was a fun and awesome time. Crew was very nice. Met some very nice people as well. Got to see a beautiful sunset and the people we met also took a good pic of hubby and I
Loved it. We had fun out on the deck getting some rays, Gambled and won a little. Hungry? Get a sandwich, pizza or snack..thirty? Wine, champagne, beer or water... everything is reasonably priced!!! Will definitely do it again.
Great time on the boat, went twice this week while I was visiting the area. Will definitely be back. Good variety of slots and table games. All the dealers and staff were fun and friendly. Decent food on board. The staff does a great job keeping the boat clean. One word of advice, if you get sea sick you should wait for a calm day. People do get sick, but that isn't the Big M's fault.
It was my first time checking out a riverboat casino. The boat ride was a little rough the evening I decided to visit. I didn't know there was no gambling until we were 3 miles out from Shore which means from 7-10 pm which is long enough. We left at 6, returned around 11. Very clean, staff was friendly, interesting experience for my first time. It was reasonably priced, received free slot play and with any casino...you win some; you lose some. Kudos to those providing rides from the parking lot and boat for those unable to do a lot of walking.
I really enjoyed my time here! Staff is very nice and they had a good selection of slots :) only downside is it takes nearly an hour for the machines to turn on, besides that it’s a nice casino boat :)

Such a beautiful place to walk your pup and enjoy outdoors. So many shaded trails, love the shell tree!
This is a beautiful park with many trails. CON: On early morning walks there are lots of people with dogs and MANY of them are NOT leashed although there is a leash law. Not everyone likes dogs but those people obviously don't care.
Lovely park just over the border in Little River, easily accessible to those in SC And NC. Great place to take kids and pets. There’s a neat trail for kids with a book to read as you’re hiking.
Great hike! Well maintained paths. With littles I am very cognizant of poison ivy. Felt comfortable with my 3year old walking in front cause the paths were wide and well maintained. Nothing for her to brush up against.
Vereen Memorial Gardens in Little River, SC is a hidden gem! 🌿 If you're looking for a peaceful spot to connect with nature, this place is a must-visit. The walking trails are serene and well-maintained, offering beautiful views of the lush greenery and calm waters. It’s the perfect place for a leisurely stroll or a quiet moment of reflection. One of the highlights for us was the stunning water views. The gardens sit right alongside the Intracoastal Waterway, and the scenery is just breathtaking. We also enjoyed some shelling on the beach, which added a fun, beachy vibe to our visit. We couldn’t leave without hanging a shell on the Wishing Tree - a unique and charming tradition that adds a bit of magic to the experience. The wildlife here is abundant too! We spotted several birds, and the area has a peaceful, tranquil feel that made it easy to forget we were so close to the hustle and bustle of the coast. It's a fantastic spot for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking to unwind. Highly recommend visiting for a day of calm, beauty, and outdoor enjoyment!
Absolutely beautiful and tranquil place to walk and enjoy nature. Pay attention to your surroundings though. We saw a copperhead today.
Great kept grounds. Beautiful viewing areas and board walks.
Absolutely a worthwhile spot. Will come back with a picnic lunch next time. Beautiful hidden gem.

Great Christmas light show. Get there when it opens because the lines are very long. We waited in line for about 20 minutes. Once you are in. The lights are amazing. Turn to the radio station they tell you and the Christmas music goes with the lights. It was so much fun. You can get out and walk around after the drive thru. I definitely recommend this event.
The Christmas light show at North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex was a great experience. The drive-through had tons of fun light displays—really well done and great for kids and adults alike. After the drive, we stopped at Santa’s Village. There were fire pits, hot chocolate, and even a small train ride and petting zoo. It had a cozy, festive vibe. Overall, it’s a fun, festive, and fairly managed holiday outing. I’d recommend going on an earlier weeknight for shorter lines. A great pick for families or anyone wanting to feel some seasonal cheer 🎄.
This was a drive-through Christmas light show. It was stunning. The lights were beautiful at some point. You turned your radio to one station and it went in tune with the lights flashing. It was incredible. I would really recommend this and I can’t wait to go back next year.
On the 3rd Friday of the month from June to September, there is a FREE concert at the park with food trucks and beverages for purchase. This year we've seen Lynrd Skynrd, Steely Dan and Elton John and next month will be Eagles. The cover bands are always very good. In the past years we've seen Meatloaf, Santana, Journey, Shania Twain, Bob Seger, Stevie Nix, Bon Jovi, and more. These shows never disappoint. The setting is beautiful and now that they have added a few vendors, it makes for a very pleasant time.
Great walking path around lake. If you're into sports, they have all kinds of ball diamonds, soccer fields. Also, have concession stands although I have never eaten anything. There are restrooms, too. No dogs allowed within the ball park area. You also have to pay to get in to watch the games, however, if you just want to walk around the park, there's no charge. There is also a fenced small and big dog park where you can unleash your dog and let it run free. Otherwise, all dogs must be leashed within the park. They are building a huge new park along side the old, it's mammoth. Not open yet so don't know anything about that. I also must say there is water sports. Huge inflatable bouncey pads for kids to play on. I'm sure there must be a charge for that but I have never seen anything about that. Life vests of all sizes are available too. It's a great park in NMB. Noticed a new McDonalds going in at the entrance. Easy in, easy out of park. I should mention there's also a nice playground for the little ones. Oh, and Segway "bike" rentals. I think they are more like electric scooters. Of course, I believe you have to have an appointment and a charge to rent. Again, I have never rented one so have little to say about those. Can't wait for the new part to open to see what else the NMB Sports Complex has to offer! It's pretty busy on weekends with girls and boys softball games but no activities during the weekdays on the ball fields. Maintenance does a great job keeping it all manicured.
AWESOME HUGE PLAYGROUND!!! Our son had a blast here! Nice three-story high playground setup with multiple twisty tube slides and tons of ways to climb up. Lots of creative ways for kiddos of all ages to be active. Large picnic shelter too and baseball fields! Great park and playground!
There is plenty of family fun. Multiple playgrounds, pic nic areas sheltered and open. Huge Dog parks for all dog sizes. Batting cages. Water sports and scenic trails. Ya can call and schedule a guided toir for if wanted. Plenty of boardwalk for bikers and walking running. Shark water park. And a huge outdoor amphitheater as well.
Great park. We did the segeway tour. Really fun. We were given a 10 minute training course. We had a good tour guide and instructor (Bob?) There is a lake and swimming plus a Jet ski line course, flotation play area, walking trails. It's a great place for active people and children as well

They take great care when getting your boat in and out of the water. They’re extremely fast at it too!!!
Nice stop as we passed through town on our way south. Good restaurant for lunch or dinner. Welcoming staff.
We went on a private charter with just our family of 8. It was great!. Captain Robert was very knowledgable, fun and helpful. The first Mate was very attentive and helpful as well. Everyone caught fish and we brought enough big ones home for supper. We took a cooler with lunch, plenty of water and snacks. Sea were alittle choppy but no o e got sea sick with the help of dramamine and the Captain being sensitive to not going too rough. We definitely recommend the company and Safari IV boat!
This is a jewel and we almost passed it it by on ICW. So worth the turn around. Our sailboat is a tank and she can be a little funky on docking. Pleasure to have excellent dock master. Snookys was fun too!
CPT. Rick was absolutely wonderful!! We all enjoyed fishing for sharks, including my 4yr old! 😁 Ask for Cpt. Rick!
Love this place. Great staff. They have gas, ice and covered storage. Access to bathrooms and showers Fantastic restaurant on site as well
Service was terrible. Made a reservation and then the dockmaster sounded surprised when we arrived. No one to help with our lines. Very strong current. Placed in a slip that was too shallow and got stuck trying to get out in the morning. Bathrooms were not clean. Very disappointed. Will not be back. And FYI fuel dock is in the back.
Very nice marina with a very good restaurant on site as well.
